Ayodhya: Police to conduct verification of saints, citizens

Ayodhya,JUL 11:
In order to keep a tap on the growing number of culprits, hiding in and around Ayodhya city dressed as saints, the district administration of Uttar Pradesh’s Faizabad is conducting a verification process of all the citizens residing in the area.
The saints of various prestigious temples in Ayodhya are happy with the move and said that the police needs to punish those who are demolishing their image in the society.
“It’s true that many times people, who are guilty of various heinous crimes, come to Ayodhya and start living like saints. Police has earlier also done investigation on the same. It’s a good job as there are few people who damage the image of saints. After finding such people the police should take strict actions against them. People come here all parts of India. Even there are people from Nepal,” Acharya Satyendra Das of Ramjanmabhoomi Temple told ANI.The saints believe that the district administration’s move will create panic in the minds of “fake saints.””We are really thankful to the police for taking such step. The culprits need to be punished. The saints are happy with this step from the police. The image of saints shouldn’t be tarnished. Even in Ramayana, Ravan kidnapped Sita after becoming a saint,” Mahant Paramhans Ramchandra Das of another temple told”With this step from the government and the police, now all the fake saints will panic and might leave this place also. The Indian culture is such that people don’t point fingers on saints. This trust should not weaken,” he added.
The police are hopeful that through this step they will be able to trace the culprit faster.
